保罗:以前到处都是冰淇淋店。现在没剩几家了。
小薇:嗯。我们可以点热奶油糖浆圣代。
保罗:每份都可以有两球冰淇淋、上面放三种配料、淋两种糖浆。
小薇:我们来点这种‘饲料槽’。
保罗:听起来份量很大。
小薇:是很大。如果我们吃得完,就免费!

Ordering ice cream at a New Orleans ice cream parlor
Paul: I love cool snacks on hot days.
Wei: Coming to this place beats getting Popsicles at 7-ELEVEN any day.
Paul: Ice cream parlors used to be everywhere. Now, few are left.
Wei: Hmm. We could get hot fudge sundaes.
Paul: Every dish comes with two scoops of ice cream, three toppings, and two kinds of syrup.
Wei: Let’s get this dish called “The Trough.”
Paul: It sounds big.
Wei: It is. If we can finish it, it’s free!
